As mentioned, this is THE Viva Las Vegas Car and we are selling it to make way for a new one. I have done my best to list as much as possible but please feel free to contact us with any further questions. Let me start by saying there is very little of this car that is 1932. I believe there is one part of the chassis that enables it to be registered as 1932. Please note that the license plates are 1932 plates and are registered to the car.

Lets start with the body. This is a fibreglass body with a steel hood. The fenders are also fibreglass. It is all painted gloss black. Please note that there are slight scuff marks on the body work but no damage. It has been on display at various events and has been photographed with thousands of people. The VIVA LAS VEGAS logo is painted on the doors. It is not a sticker or anything. The logo will still be on the car when you buy it. The interior has been reupholstered as you can see in the photos. It has a vintage style dash and all of the gauges are modern vintage looking gauges that all work. Although I would not trust the gas gauge too much. The steering wheel and column are a modern vintage look from Limeworks. Hidden under the dash and out of view are speakers for the sound system and a cigarette lighter socket. The sound system is a CD/radio that is in the trunk. It has a remote control to operate it and also has an iPhone hook up by the seat. The car has seat belts for 3. These can be tucked away out of sight for display.

The chassis is a reproduction chassis. It has a Mustang front end with disc brakes at the front. The rear end has drum brakes. Coil spring suspension all around. Tires are in good shape and have plenty of tread.

The engine is a 350 V8 with automatic transmission. The car is fast as it weighs so little. The motor does not seem to have a choke so if it has not been used for a while it takes a few turns to start it up.Once running it runs great. The motor has an automatic electric fan and an expansion tank. There is a slight oil leak from the engine.

The brakes are NOT power brakes so you need to push a bit harder than in a modern car.

As the car is light you can easily wheel spin.

The electrics in the car work well and the battery charges well. It has brake lights but NO TURN SIGNALS. Lights all work well. Dashboard lights up. There is a disconnect switch in the trunk. The trunk lid opener is behind the seat. The car comes with a cover to go over the cab but not a roof.

I am proud of my Ebay feedback rating so I am going to list here a few things that are not quite 100% on the car.

Some of the interior trim needs re attaching.

Passenger door latch spring needs replacing. The door still closes properly.

Slight oil leak from engine.

Takes a few turns to start sometimes as there is no choke.

Fuel gauge not accurate.

Body has some scuffs and marks on it.

Personally I would like stronger brakes and considered converting to power brakes.

On the steering wheel part of the black coating has peeled off.

The gear indicator is not accurate but is easy to get used to.

I have listed as much as I can think of. I will welcome any inspection. If you want me to email you photos of any parts of the car I can do that also. I want you to be happy with your purchase and make sure that you are informed about everything to do with the car.

The car has a clear title and is currently registered in California. It is sold with NO WARRANTY. If you are interested, I urge you to find the time to come and look at the car before bidding. We are in Los Alamitos in California (near Long Beach).

Ford Mustang hit by Moore' Oklahoma's EF5 tornado lives to do another burnout

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Oklahoma recently saw the destructive power of an EF5 tornado, but in the aftermath of the devastation, we've also been witness to the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Moore, OK resident Jack Haden survived the storm but found that his 2003 Ford Mustang wasn't quite as lucky. As you can see in the image above, the tornado's 200+ mph winds did quite a number on the car, but while most people would have likely called their insurance company and scrapped the car, Haden had other plans.
After finding the car and seeing that its V6 still fired up, Haden spent a couple hours getting the car, um... roadworthy(?)... by removing the doors and front clip, cutting off the roof and putting on some new wheels and tires. He noticed that driving it around brought some comic relief to an area that needed a reason to laugh and smile. Check out the KSBI TV news report video below showing before and after pictures of the tough 'Stang, as well as a video showing the newly lightweight coupe doing a smoky burnout.

This year's LA Auto Show has been packed with interesting debuts and fascinating industry trends. The Autoblog team is on the scene to examine all the new metal, and Senior Editor Greg Migliore has some show highlights for us in the video above.

The Civic Coupe is a striking redesign of an extremely popular and important model for the company. And the restyled Ford Escape looks more like its bigger brother, the Explorer. There's this an much more in our video above. Watch it and let us know what you think – and look for more LA Auto Show coverage coming soon.

Ford auctioning off F-35-themed 2015 Mustang for charity

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Ford's been a supporter of EAA AirVenture, a huge, annual air show held in Oshkosh, WI, for several years now, with one of its most notable contributions being a modified Ford Mustang, designed to look like one of America's great fighting aircraft. There was an SR-71 Mustang, based on the legendary spy plane, a Red Tails edition, which honored the ground-breaking Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, as well as Blue Angels and Thunderbird Mustangs, based on America's two great military aerial demonstration teams.
Each car is auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the EAA Young Eagles program, which introduces kids to the joy of flight. For the 2014 AirVenture, which runs from July 28 to August 3, the one-off pony car is based on the new-for-2015 Mustang, and America's latest fighting aircraft - the controversial F-35 Lightning II.
The unique Mustang sports titanium paint scheme, with both glossy and matte sections, as well as yellow-and-blue trim and decal elements inspired by CF-1, the first F-35 test plane. A carbon-fiber front splitter and rear diffuser add some visual eye candy, while the interior boasts a set of Recaro seats. Ford also opted to fit unique wheels and a brawnier rear spoiler, to tie everything together.
